Kwabena Agyei Agyepong dismisses claims of forming a new political movement

Former General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and flagbeareful hopeful of the New Patriotic Party Kwabena Agyei Agyepong, has issued a strong rebuttal to recent reports that suggests that he has threatened to form a new political movement.

According to him the claims are false, malicious, and deliberately crafted to mislead the public and cause disunity within the NPP.

The online portal, OPR News in two separate stories, alleged that Kwabena Agyepong had threatened to form a new political movement — already being branded by some as the “KAA Party” — if his presidential ambitions were not supported by the NPP. Another story claimed he had accused Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia of plotting to politically weaken outspoken former Assin Central Member of Parliament, Kennedy Agyapong.

He has dismissed both publications outright, stressing that he remains a loyal and committed member of the NPP and has never contemplated breaking away from the party he has served all his political life.

“At no point have I ever stated, hinted, or contemplated forming a new political party. I remain dedicated to the values and future of the NPP.

I have also not made any allegations against the former Vice President Dr Bawumia, nor have I been involved in any commentary that seeks to pit him against Kennedy Agyapong. These publications are completely false and dangerous, as they attempt to exploit religion and inflame divisions within our party,” he asserted.

The NPP presidential aspirant described the reports as defamatory and unethical, warning that they undermine public confidence in the media and weaken Ghana’s democratic discourse.

He has therefore demanded an immediate retraction and an unqualified apology from OPR News, insisting that a rejoinder correcting the misinformation must be published within 24 hours and with the same prominence as the original stories.

Failure to do so, he cautioned, would leave him with no option but to pursue the necessary legal remedies to protect his integrity.

He further urged media houses across the country to exercise responsibility, accuracy, and fairness in their reportage, reminding them that the media’s duty is to inform the public truthfully, not to mislead.
